In numerical simulation, our linear-elastic 3D Timoshenko warping beam finite element is used, which allows consideration of non-uniform torsion. The finite element is suitable for analysis of spatial structures consisting of beams with constant open and closed cross-sections. The effect of the secondary torsional moment and of the shear forces on the deformation is included in the local finite beam element stiffness matrix. The warping part of the first derivative of the twist angle due to bimoment is considered as an additional degree of freedom at the nodes of the finite elements. Standard beam, shell and solid finite elements are also used in the comparative stress and deformation simulations. Results of the numerical experiments are discussed, compared, and evaluated. Measurements are performed for confirmation of the calculated results.","PeriodicalId":35968,"journal":{"name":"Strojnicky Casopis","volume":"68 1","pages":"35 - 52"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2018-11-01","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"44239243","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":0,"RegionCategory":"","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

Box-Behnken design of response surface methodology has been employed to formulate the experimental plan to identify the effect of process parameters on tensile strength. Square butt joint configuration has been made using three factors - three levels of welding input parameters. Joint strength has been evaluated by notch tensile strength (NTS) and Unnotch tensile strength (UTS) method and correlated with microstructure and micro hardness of the weld. The results indicate that gas flow rate has greater influence on both NTS and UTS followed by welding current.","PeriodicalId":35968,"journal":{"name":"Strojnicky Casopis","volume":"68 1","pages":"231 - 248"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2018-11-01","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"44215641","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":0,"RegionCategory":"","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

Remarkable improvement has been observed in static settled concentration, pH and viscosity with addition of sodium sulfate with proportion of 0.4%. Reduction in relative viscosity is highly pronounced at higher solid concentration. Similar observation has been reported for static settled concentration and pH of slurry suspension.

Phase and crystallization processes are a strong non-linear function of the cooling rate. This non-linear function multiplies the complexity of the numerical simulation and optimization of the welding process. Lately, optimization with genetic algorithm has become the trend to optimize systems that behave in a non-linear manner and contain a number of local extremes. Genetic algorithm is therefore a method by which we seek an absolute extreme. It is a method which seeks a solution to near absolute extreme. In this paper the use of the genetic algorithm for welding process optimization is described.","PeriodicalId":35968,"journal":{"name":"Strojnicky Casopis","volume":"68 1","pages":"17 - 24"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2018-11-01","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"43226798","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":0,"RegionCategory":"","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

Consequently, a 3D finite element model of a single lap-joint is constructed and validated with experiments. Strength prediction of current model is found desirable. Accordingly, different sizes of square shape defects are imported to model in the form of changing (raised or degraded) material properties (heterogeneity) and locally delaminated areas (as inclusion/void), respectively. Joint strength is investigated and a stress analysis is carried out for adhesive layer and adherends. Obtained Results show that, defect has significant impact on the results. It is found that at constant size of defect, local delamination has more impact on bonded joint strength than the heterogeneity. Furthermore, stress analyses demonstrate that the stress field does not change in adherends by taking defects into account. However, stress values decrease with degraded material properties and joint’s strength. Through evaluation of peel and transverse shear stresses in adhesive layer it is found that there is a change of stress distribution for both types of defects. Whereas, there is a considerable stress concentration in the delaminated adhesive layer.","PeriodicalId":35968,"journal":{"name":"Strojnicky Casopis","volume":"68 1","pages":"24 - 5"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2018-11-01","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"45370546","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":0,"RegionCategory":"","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}
